This collection contains a French and Indian War-era letter written by Captain Robert Stobo to Colonel Innes, who were officers in the British army in the mid-18th century. Stobo writes in captivity from Fort Duquesne, describing French negotiations with the Shawnee [Shanoe] Indians, among other observations. On the reverse of the letter is a map of Fort Duquesne and its environs. The collection also contains a manuscript (clerical) copy of the 1754 letter, and a typed transcription. Digital reproductions of the collection are available online.
